Announcement
I make retro style hats for both women and men. I collect vintage wool fabric and use it to create 1920s style Cloches, Men's Driving Caps and Irish Walking Hats among other styles. The fabulous quality of vintage fabrics really inspires me. I hope you are as impressed with that quality as I am.
I've been a Costume Properties Artisan and made accessories for the stage for over ten years. I've worked with a variety of designers from around the world and have created everything from foul-mouthed puppets to leather gorgets to spats, crowns and sword belts. I enjoy it all but I absolutely LOVE making hats and hope you enjoy them too!

5 out of 5 starsI love it! It's better than I expected it! It's light, soft, very good looking, and I love the color (a tad eggplant & not just burgundy)! You can tell it's very well made, it feels awesome on ypur hand just holding it, and the fit is good too. I will def return to look for more excellent products! 👍🏽

Hats With a Past - Retro Style Millinery
My shop was born of my love for vintage fashion and my years as a Costume Properties Artisan at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.

Owner, Maker, Designer
I've made hats for the past 20 years - starting as a theatrical milliner.
Shop policies
I have also amassed a collection of vintage buckles that I add to my cloches for a little extra style.
For summer hats I've been using modern linens and cottons. I use European linen which has a really nice weight to it and I'm mad about Japanese linen!
I use only 100% washed cotton for my linings. However, if you would like something else, let me know.

Shipping
I ship internationally! The price for shipping is listed by item under "Everywhere Else".
PLEASE NOTE: Many countries impose a customs or tariff fee on items shipped from other countries. Some fees can be quite high (such as in the UK). This cost is imposed by the country that the hat is sent to so you will have to pay the fee in addition to the cost of the hat and shipping.
I will gladly ship to Canada, however the cost of priority is prohibitive so I will send first class instead. Unfortunately, there is no delivery confirmation for first class to Canada. Canada also imposes customs fees on imported goods.
